There are two ways only by
which the enormous Treasury sur
plus can be avoided. One is by a
tariff reform, by which the money
will be left in the pockets of the
people from where it is now forced.
The other is by again putting the
Republican party in power, who
will find no difficulty in "getting
away" with all the money that can
possibly get into the Treasury as
rapidly as it reaches it.

A Gloomy View.
[Meigs County Republican.

We fear the Democracy will car
ry Ohio at the fall election. The
Republican party seems hopelessly
split. Iii is Halstead and Boynton
on one side, while General Kiefer,
the Republican press and all the
voters of the party represent the
other side.

There are sixty-fve more fur
naces in blast in the country now
than there we're at this time last
year. And this increase is under
a Democratic administration,
which the Republicans proclaimed,
before the last Presidential cleo

pure Democratic administration is
a good thing to have in nation,
state, or city.

What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow

Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums"-the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. T. Teller, NJ. D., Of ~Chittenango,

have written at greater length. He +.
says: "Ayer's Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and I think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"

their action" is the concise testimony

Loves Solitude and Her Lantern.
From the Dnnbury Netcs.


In one of the vicinity towns there is
young girl, about IL years OF age, afflicted
with a strange mania. She is large for her
age, of fine physique, possessed of good
features, and more than ordinarily pre-
possessing. She is robust in health and
shows great activity, and is unusually
smart and intelligent, with the exception OF
this mania. Every night about 8 o'clock
she will go to neighbours house to borrow
lantern. Each time she will make new
excuse for doing 50. If she succeeds in get
ting the lantern she then takes long walks
She does not confine herself to the public
highway, but wandeIs about the fields and
frequently in the woods. She does not seem
to know what fear is, either of man or beast.
She frequently perches herself upon fence
and sits there long time, dangling her
lantern. About 10 o'clock she returns home
and goes to bed contented. Her friends, of
course, object to these lantern strolls, and
she has to steal away. Those of her neigh
bors who know about them refuse her Ian
tern. She has number of times greatly
frightened persons, which seems 10 please
her amazingly. She is in no respect way
ward, but seems possessed of strange and
fascinating mania for lantern.

ment of Col Fleming.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Nov. l6-This after
noon the Supreme Court was in session to
hear the argument of Col. l.. l. Fleming, of
Jacksonville, in the jacksonville charter
case now pending. Col. Fleming commended
that tie last Senate was properly organ
lied when presided over by the Lieutenant
Governor, who was at least President de
facto of the Senate, and consequently his
acts are binding. The question of special
legislation was considered, with the conclu-
sion by Col. Fleming that notice of applica-
ton was not necessary at the last session.
Discussion as to the illegality of the amend
ment to the charter was proceeded with
on the theory that the amendment does not
conform to the constitution, and is there
fore invalid. The charter, as it now stands,
is deficient in provisions for the organiza-
tion OF new government and it is GAINED
that if the charter Is valid the general cleo
ton laws are applicable TO the form of first
government under the new charter or else
no organization can he made practicable
The decision is awaited with intense interest
by all because serious questions are in
volved, and Jacksonville is specially con-

at first, and thought he had lost his game,
but when he went behind the kitchen

took effect He then went out into the
street where his horse was, for the purpose
Of taking him into the lot, and again, to his
